Autumn Discloses ... a Creek Side poem by Anne Selden Annab

 

                            Autumn Discloses

As the leaves

the GREEN YELLOW ORANGE RED GOLD

                                    leaves

                    twirl

                    lriwt

& fall

we see more & more...

Autumn discloses

ducks, geese, kingfishers

on the creek.

Glorious sunrises

                     sunsets

loud 

& soft colors...

Star sparklings in the sky

meteor showers

& moon shapes.

Clouds. Time passes.

Air & water currents...

Green dries- fades- falls

to disclose

deer deep in the woods.

An Autumn Poem by Anne Selden Annab: A Sycamore Leaf in Fall

              A Sycamore Leaf in Fall



Autumn leaves and a little squirrel-
plus a rapid rain drenching all.


Scampering down our tall maple tree
the little squirrel blends into the wet bark.


He pauses. Then leaps, landing on a wet
sycamore leaf that is larger than he is by far.


That big leaf is on an edge. The squirrel's front paws,
frantic for traction, claw and the leaf moves

moves like a magic carpet sweeping him up and over.
The little squirrel lands...  and finds shelter.
